fede may be laid to rest but the controversy surrounding him lives on speculation he could have taken trove of potentially damaging secrets to a desert. the occupy wall street movement are ready for yet another round of world wide protests to mark the g twenty summit all on calls as well for governments to crack down on the global scene of currency trading. a georgian a billionaire and critic of the current president stripped of his citizenship and threatened with expulsion from the country plans to run for governor. just after five pm on tuesday here in moscow this is artsy with me showing after five days of being on public display inside a meat market for the slain former libyan leader moammar gadhafi has been buried
9:01 am
his body was taken to a secret location in the desert to prevent his grave from becoming a shrine for sympathizers or even being bad ones for that matter how to use anything now is in tripoli keeping across the us. will be down to finally very down dong this tuesday in secret for witnesses swearing on the koran that they will never reveal the site obviously the end to see afraid that it could become some kind of shrine it to the late leader but also i think it's fair to say we'll hear this from analysis throughout the day that with him to the grave when a lot of the secrets of his wheeling and dealing as they call it with the west very close ties with a lot of western countries before they decided that this dictator needed to go down with him being buried today needs to be pointed out that it was completely not in accordance with islamic law i was on display for some of those days in a shopping center after being kept you know walk in refrigerator for days you see.
9:02 am
these pictures coming out of that side people actually wearing masks because obviously the smell despite the fact that he was being refrigerated was getting to the people that he's been put to rest now and the first some of the first announcements that we're hearing in fact tell from most probably shield that he sees the country moving towards should be along which of course is a very hard line islamist way of leading the country at the same time just recent elections in tunisia where official results are expected to come in later on tuesday but so far it looks like the leading party that will take over most of the positions in parliament will be an islamist party the a not a party so it really is something that in a way is ironic i think it's fair to say the west very strongly pushing for these so-called democracies to be born i don't may not play out the way they actually want to but again huge challenges ahead for libya and most people here are certainly asking in the celebration of good sound he says few of them it seems
9:03 am
seems are really thinking about what that means for the future of libya the cars of liberation are loud and clear. it looks like a state of euphoria here everybody is happy and you know. even though there is no formal you know war in order but are they ignoring the price paid for freedom in libya some thirty thousand civilians are said to have been killed with four thousand still missing this house was one of nato's misses a single family lost five people including children. joys to all governments and no one sauce who is going to rebuild my house cool compensate honest for. what's of the country's infrastructure has been destroyed finding water is now a serious challenge in the capital and we don't have running supplies and trying to collect what they can. have a family with six kids we leave to come here every day is very
9:04 am
difficult. if we bombed the electric station and been worried for ten days they haven't fixed the problem at least we can come here for now. but maybe not much longer. before the war libya could boast one of the best living standards on the continent with high life expectancy and low tiled mortality rates but after months of heavy bombing and fierce fighting the country's social and economic achievements have been brutally reversed its people now betting on a heavily armed and inexperienced group to govern them through a fresh start in the wake of destruction ali asked us not to reveal his face fearing who might pay for saying this. that if you talk or see anything positive the market raffi you will have serious problems with the rebels there is no government speaking out on to the end of you he tells me if people were truly happy
9:05 am
about the end of gaddafi and the way he was killed there would be millions not thousands on the streets of the movies i'm sure some sixty to seventy percent of the country does not approve of the way gadhafi was killed we expect them to be tried as a prisoner of war not killed. and we are told a new libya there will be justice he was the head of this country and there was no justice in the way he was killed i have not hope for the future but it's just the beginning to think very quick get better with time but things will take time to change in the country. any agreement it's likely there will be a lot of fighting in the future on right now in jamal and samarra there is fighting going on between tribes and anyone with a weapon has power and can do what they want. so many celebrate this new era in libya's history people like army are quietly bracing for the worst. and he's now artsy tripoli. and he's or is continuing our coverage of from libya online on
9:06 am
a personal twitter feed or in one of our latest. she posted images of libyan children or kids that is a rummaging through what's left of colonel gadhafi is arsenals and lots of a foot or updates are coming from our teeth area and he said. tripoli for us. since the fall of gadhafi virtue nature of his revelations and relations with western leaders has led to uncomfortable questions mark almond a visiting professor in international relations at bill kent university in ankara believes the late dictator could have blown the cover of some murky deals if indeed he was still alive. basic types of secrets the rule the allocations a president who would resume movies who. would never know who he was so you were told to throw the littlest little bit of his tissue and then of course he was restored free world to two thousand and three and what this is to was with the
9:07 am
existence of the rest of british history still whose influence for those who lived we must ask how was your solution to on and on for years mostly with his group sequence with. the shooter dealing with his constant of those protections of his it still wouldn't go away the first place he becomes of this some sort of situation position who truly grew intrinsic an international routine or be a great relief for these western readers who don't think he's disappeared from see the legal situation of a liberal as it were proved there and this is. how it will offer more of the story i'm joined right now by superman a child in a spokesman for british civilians for peace and libya and a freelance journalist i live in london thank you for joining us today so there's peace in libya now you must be happy. there's no there's no peace and human rights watch is not it's not in my favor human rights organization i just said today in
9:08 am
the newspapers that where is the where's the inquiry about how to put a unit who was there and he sees a rebel military leader who was killed in benghazi several months ago there's no peace and in libya there's been no running water in for clean my sources told me and when there is this salty water there's dozens and dozens and scores of rebel factions and all the media are being very clear that they're actually into this and this time civil war between the rebel factions and the embassies all about to blow up even the leadership of enthusiast this very clearly so there is no peace in libya the warden as you say there's no peace in libya they're walking tin you see it's curious you say that because the hot off the press here at r.c. we've just heard that an n.c.c. minister minister from the national transitional council has formally asked nato to continue their bombing campaigns for at least one more month what does that mean to you why. it's clear that there's deep divisions in the rebel council that probably it's a rebel council and people like mr and are very keen that nato intervene on their
9:09 am
behalf against other factions which they which which they don't support or obviously the thing about more and we're going off or running story as well and mormons got off with the nature of his death has had more impact perhaps on people then you know most of his life i know a lot of arab friends who are very hostile to him but the nature of his death i mean there was a chinese a very famous trying to evolutionary who said that to die for the enemy is like that in the further with the guy against against western foreign policy is greater than a mountain and i think it has been very weighty and has a profound impact on the arab psyche of many arabs are just absolutely just disgusted by the new truth definitely exposed the nature of the rebels as well as you know what i reports of i'm sorry to interrupt one of our reports my correspondent and it's an hour he was there and i cation she spoke to one person who said that if indeed there was such overwhelming support for his death it will be millions of people on the streets not just several thousands but if i may just just brought out a little bit here i understand that they are saying that the way to get out he was
9:10 am
treated and his death was it was distasteful to say the least and has had a big effect on the arab psyche but let's talk about the fact that western leaders in recent years have certainly cozied up to you when he was for quite some time persona non-grata do you think western leaders would have preferred to have seen khadafi stand trial at the hague or is it possible that they would have been worried about him exposing secrets we spoke to a guest earlier who said that could that he took some major political revelations to the grave. on the one hand you know that most of indictive of western leaders perhaps hillary clinton advocated his death anyway days before. he was lynched so that that was a clear signal that went out from the empire secondly on this issue of secrets i don't think there are any particularly great secrets everyone knows that gadhafi had to report in the west in the last seven to ten years everyone knows that he collaborated in the rendition program against those factions which the rest were
9:11 am
using always against him and which the rest of the game use now particularly the libyan islamic clerics and i'm sorry but you say what you say you say there are no secrets here that people don't already know about what's about what about a recent story saying they could actually help to finance french president nicolas sarkozy's a presidential campaign is that common knowledge but that wasn't a secret this cycle islam it's about right the beginning of the conflict that they had the papers to prove that that they had financed. and so that's not a secret so i think i think what this kind of this speculative about sequence they took them to took to the grave it's a way of really belittling the way that libya managed to actually get reparations the only african country that has managed to get reparations from the former colonial power that's italy and really third world nations have every right to have full diplomatic relations with the west so i think this whole story about just taking secrets to the grave i just don't think it's a story at all personally i'm running very low on time here but i must quickly ask you very quickly that is the libyan population is still very heavily armed even with kids playing with
9:12 am
a gun so what you think can be done to disarm the nation and forgive me without running very low on time here. no no no no problem i think we need to have a central government that brings order which they had on the gadhafi for forty two years look at iraq and they were security and it was in some semblance of safety for the people under saddam hussein now it's the wild west it's completely an acoustic but i think the resistance will grow and let's see what happens in nature what stuck in libya and they cannot rule in syria because of russia and china so. you know who has a sense of humanity that things will improve for the libyan people and permission is report on twitter he just mentioned that the people who smoke former reportedly have been killed so this is the state of affairs right now the people of libya are faced with some kind of china spokesman for the british civilians for peace in libya many thanks for that it's a traitor in our financial group thanks kaiser and co-host stacey but now they discussed what would have happened to colonel gadhafi if he was pushed not to the
9:13 am
wall but to wall street is a preview of what's coming your way in a couple of hours. if moammar gadhafi had got nonna jet landed on wall street so at some point the last three months he would have been immediately put on the board of directors of j.p. morgan they were given a multi-billion dollar bonus and he would be doing fantastic he would be on all the talk shows talking about his plan to monetize this country's assets in the greater good of a global oil kleptocratic dream state of never ending gusher of profits for the top one tenth of one percent now the occupy wall street movement and the global insurrection against banker occupation has to ask themselves why justice was selectively served against gadhafi and not tony blair or jamie diamond or lloyd blankfein how come those guys are not hiding in a spider hole somewhere. quarter
9:14 am
past the hour here in moscow the occupy wall street movement is gearing up for another round of global rallies this week intended to coincide with the upcoming g. twenty summit where these latest protests are aimed at pressuring world leaders to introduce a so-called robin hood tax some what they say is that virtually under regulated global casino or financial transactions but it's not is more important i reports it will not be easy to reach. six weeks into the occupy movement nearly one thousand unarmed activists have been arrested in new york city. thrown to the ground beaten netted like flies and pepper sprayed. the n.y.p.d. is tactics have been harshly criticized yet the most profound and public condemnation recently came from u.s. marine sergeant shamar thomas while defending demonstrators in times square.
9:15 am
the lone man that stood up to get dozens of new york cops comes from a family of honor was that he was he went to ghana stand in two thousand and sixteen my mother works in iraq the same song sergeant thomas completed two tours in iraq before returning to his homeland where he now aligns himself with the activists he says are being targeted by aggressive authority in uniform i haven't seen it and watch t.v. . take on a person one on one it's always a few of them you know three four five of them or one person these are you know protests as this is four weeks from hands down the twenty five year old war vet says it's come to
9:16 am
a point where iraqi activists are treated with more respect and humility then their american counterparts he recalls an incident when hundreds of iraqis got violent with u.s. soldiers a few people started throwing rocks and everybody kind of started the rocks and we actually had a marine get hit in the face he was on the back of a truck but you know the people were free to go you know what i mean we didn't arrest anybody we didn't go beat up on anybody so to see the police or was is the latest on our civilians in our own country was just it was you know stuff. well i was amazed like i was in shock visiting the protesters he stood proudly to defend sergeant thomas received something of a hero's welcome in zuccotti park this week yes well i think it really you know we've been gestures of appreciation towards the marine that completed combat in baghdad but just speaking and his battle against police brutality here at home sergeant thomas is the classic of the n.y.p.d. from what we inspired worth when you called off you i read it because i knew it's

9:18 am
others. we've got a discourse thing at work on democracy in the home the mother of all parliaments where these m.p.'s are not voting with their conscience or with their constituents opinions they're voting or the way their leaders tell them to because if they don't they'll get the sack that isn't democracy is an absolute disgrace i don't actually think we need to be part of a political super state no one signed up i'm fifty eight anybody in the age of fifty four has not a vote on this and certainly my dad when he voted for a common market he didn't vote for the united states of europe that's what british people are upset about this disconnect between the political elites in our great country and the people the political elite in westminster not try and stop was what eventually we will get our referendum and we will get out of the let me tell you it's not our problem to sort out the problems in greece and tell me why we should work to the age of seventy two or seventy three to pay for stuff ross who lives in
